Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

The 'signing in six months' isn't the revelation in GNF's post.  People are repeating that timeframe as a means of discrediting his source and information.

The fact that Jesse has officially told the club that he wants to sign on again is the new information that GNF has contributed to the discussion.  To my knowledge, no media outlet has stated that Jesse has definitely informed the club that he wants an extension.  

This therefore is new and interesting formation.

The "signing in six months" puts the credibility of the post in doubt, because it doesn't make any sense.

What timeframe to negotiate, draft, sign and announce a multi-million dollar contract would be more believable?

Bearing in mind negotiations have not been ongoing...

Nonsense... as has already been mentioned in this "discussion", the news that Hogan would like to remain a Demon is NOT new information at all... it was in the press on July 21 and the only difference is that GNF is claiming that he got the info from the inner sanctum:

Great!

But doesn't that just confirm GNF's post?

As far as I can tell, it only confirms that GNF was not getting his info from the inner sanctum, but that he was just taking what was already in the media and claiming it's a done deal.  I think you will find GNF's post was made well after the July 21 date of that article (3rd August in fact).

So the 'inner sanctum' is not discussing Jesse Hogan telling the club he wants a contract extension?? I would imagine they'd be talking about little else.

Even the people who believe what GNF posted was true are having a go at him!

Members Wing posts a conversation with Dangerfield where he confirms something we all knew to be true and he gets shot down as well.

Ive never been privy to any real inside information, but if I was, I'd think twice before sharing.

I have read some outlandish "facts" on this website before  - I hope everyone keeps posting everything from the believable to the totally unbelievable and let all make up their own mind as to how believable a post it actually is.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to be somewhere else so I am going to hop aboard my dragon and fly to the planet Xerxes.

Those quotes are extracts, with minor rewording from the article 'hardtack' quotes below!!

I had forgotten that article 'hardtack'!  A few days ago I gave GNF credit for 'playing the probabilities, with logic' to get his statements/predictions.  It seems I gave him too much credit.  To see his post is just a collection of extracts from that article is particularly disappointing.  I feel he is having a lend of fellow Deelanders.  Not nice, especially as he knows he has some standing on DL.

When queried about the post he said:

You are all more than welcome to convince yourselves that this is BS....... be my guest.

My advice...... don't bother, take a deep breath a relax. There is no need to stress about this one any more.

Obviously I can't say anything more.

It is another 'riddle' like comment and just stringing people along.  I guess he couldn't exactly own up to his source being a WA newspaper!  (BTW the article was discussed on DL from July 21 so info not new).

7 pages of bashing a poster with basically no discussion around Jesse Hogan. 

Demonland at it's finest. 

 

GNF's post aside, i personally believe Jesse will re-sign before the start of Pre Season, he looks super committed to the club and it's direction and i reckon he'd be super excited about playing with his future partner in crime this weekend

I suspect partners in crime, not discounting Watts and Petracca. It could be exciting tomorrow, particularly if Garlett remembers where the goals are.

Do you need to be argumentative and highly strung to follow Melbourne OR does following Melbourne make you highly strung and argumentative?  (This excludes Nutbean who is clearly totally in touch with his inner Nut!)

Definitely time we moved on, those posters know where the ignore button is and they should know they don't have to read his posts.

Garlett needs to remember that he can be beside his opponent, or in front of him, or even somewhere not near him.

He doesn't need to be behind him all the time.

Whether you believe GNF or not, the fact we have spent half a dozen pages debating the legitimacy shows just how crap discussion is on this site.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
